The company’s flagship Slim „pink drink” arrived on the market in 2011, and led the wave of prebiotic and probiotic enthusiasm that took hold in the early 2010s. – In the 2010s, researchers began uncovering connections between the microbiome and a wide range of conditions, including cognitive and skin health. At the same time, Plexus had introduced Slim and was seeing firsthand the impact of gut health. These insights helped shape our focus on the microbiome – said Robert Metzger, Plexus manager of product development.
Since then, the company has remained focused on its mission to provide nutritional gut health solutions to its community and beyond. Through its Nourish One initiative, launched in 2018, the company has worked to address food insecurity around the world, partnering with Mary’s Meals to provide more than 48.8 million meals worldwide.
– We believe in bringing hope, health and happiness to communities everywhere. Supporting families by ensuring they are nourished, thriving and connected is central to that mission. As we celebrate 18 years, we’re proud of the impact we’ve made and look forward to doing even more in 2026 – said Alec Clark, Plexus president and founder.
In celebration, the company launched a social media giveaway this week, offering fans a chance to win a free Slim and Trim product combination, as well as other prizes. Entry can be found on the company’s Instagram page.
– Over the past 18 years, both gut health research and our understanding of the microbiome have grown tremendously. We’re excited to continue innovating alongside emerging science while supporting an exceptional customer experience, and community growth and economic opportunities for our brand ambassadors across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Mexico – comments Tarl Robinson, Plexus CEO and founder.
